Comments on Another Record Jeter Will Soon Own

Personally I hope this is a record Jeter doesn’t get. I hope that by opening day 2013 Jeter will be playing 3B—heck, I hope he’s playing 3B opening day 2012—with A-Rod as the every day DH. I think the more important record is the most games played as a Yankee (2,401 by Mickey Mantle) which Jeter will break this year sometime after collecting his 3,000th hit.

You have to wonder, if, at any time during these contract talks did New York and Jeter exchange thoughts about him moving off SS before the deal is done…
